It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to watch the Oakland A’s play in the World Series. If you’re under 30 years old, then you’ve never seen it. But along the way, countless great players and fun personalities and beloved favorites have worn the green and gold, and sometimes we get to see some of them play in the Fall Classic with their new teams.
Sean Doolittle is near the top of that list of 21st-century A’s icons, as both a star player and a memorable presence off the field. He was traded to the Washington Nationals in 2017, and now he’s on the sport’s biggest stage, facing off against the Houston Astros with a championship on the line.
